Bridging the Bay connects the people, ideas, and conversations shaping the future of real estate and community across Tampa Bay. Each episode dives into timely topics from property taxes and housing policy to innovation, leadership, and local impact, bridging the gap between real estate, government, and the neighborhoods we call home.

In this premiere episode, we sit down with Hillsborough County Property Appraiser Bob Henriquez for a dynamic discussion on how property values, exemptions, and assessment trends are influencing the market and shaping our region’s growth. Bob shares how his office is using technology and data transparency to serve residents, support REALTORS®, and build trust in a rapidly changing landscape.

From the evolution of Tampa Bay’s housing market to the human stories behind every parcel, this conversation sets the tone for what Bridging the Bay is all about: real people, real impact, and real collaboration.

Recorded live from the Febre Frameworks Studio, where creativity meets community, tune in and see how we’re bridging the bay, one conversation at a time.
